What is a "for time" workout?

A for time workout is a classic CrossFit format where the goal is to complete a set list of exercises as fast as possible. Your time becomes your score, making each for time CrossFit workout a race against the clock — and yourself.

In a typical for time workout, you'll perform a fixed number of reps or rounds of movements (e.g., squats, push-ups, burpees, or barbell lifts) and finish them as quickly as you can while maintaining good form. This format pushes you to work hard, manage fatigue, and develop both conditioning and mental toughness.

Why Try a "For Time" CrossFit Workout?

  • Builds intensity and urgency into your training

  • Encourages better pacing, efficiency, and recovery awareness

  • Easy to track progress over time — beat your previous score!

  • Works well for individual or group competition-style workouts

Whether you're doing a short sprint or a long chipper, the for time CrossFit workout format is a powerful way to test your limits and stay motivated in your training.

What kind of exercises are in this workout?

  • dumbbell snatch

    The dumbbell snatch is a powerful, full-body movement that builds explosiveness, coordination, and core strength. Commonly used in CrossFit, a dumbbell snatch workout challenges both strength and endurance while training one side of the body at a time.

    In this workout, dumbbell snatches help increase intensity, improve unilateral balance, and add variety to your training. Whether you're a beginner or advanced athlete, the dumbbell snatch workout format can be easily scaled and is highly effective for total-body conditioning.

  • Dumbbell Front Rack Reverse Lunges

    The dumbbell front rack reverse lunge combines unilateral leg work with midline and upper-body control by holding the dumbbells in a front rack position while stepping backward into a lunge. Frequently seen in dumbbell front rack reverse lunge workouts, it’s a controlled, posture-driven strength builder.

    In this workout, dumbbell front rack reverse lunges target the glutes, quads, and core while improving balance, posture, and stability. The front rack adds a challenge for the upper body and trunk, making this variation more demanding than standard lunges—perfect for functional strength training.

  • Assault Bike

    The Assault Bike is a fan-powered machine that delivers one of the most effective full-body conditioning challenges in fitness. Common in high-intensity assault bike workouts, it trains your legs, arms, and lungs all at once — and responds directly to how hard you push.

    In this workout, the Assault Bike is used to build power, stamina, and mental toughness. Whether you're sprinting for calories or holding a steady pace, the Assault Bike is perfect for intervals, finishers, or pure engine tests.
